Lyrics

I was born and raised in the ghetto I was born and raised in the ghetto I am a woman of the ghetto Listen to me, legislator How do you raise your kids in the ghetto? How do you raise your kids in the ghetto? Feed one child and starve another? Tell me, tell me, legislator How do you make your bread in the ghetto? How do you make your bread in the ghetto? Baked from the souls of the dead in the ghetto? Tell me, tell me, legislator Brave, free, black me I am a woman of the ghetto Strong, true, my eyes ain't blue I am a woman of the ghetto My children learn just the same as yours Long as nobody try to shut the door They cry with pain when the knife cuts deep They close their eyes when they wanna sleep We shouldn't have let 'em up every time Sixty stories high Now you may have been in one ghetto But have you been there at all? Placed in Iowa, Detroit, Fillmore, Chicago, Harlem, Brooklyn
